Saving leaderstats will not work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi I am the YouTuber Kyky 200! (this is my alt)

I am making an anti-hack for a YouTube showcase.

I have been using a leaderstats loader forever, but now they wont work. It is super useful for my anti hack, And I need it.

I looked on DevFourm for solutions, but none have come.

This is the script. The saving part is not working, specifically

currency1.Value = ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0

Anything will help. Thanks in advance!

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore("KicksValueSaver")

players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder") or player.leaderstats
	folder.Name = "leaderstats"
	folder.Parent = player
	
	local currency1 = Instance.new("IntValue")
	currency1.Name = "Kicks"
	currency1.Parent = player.leaderstats
	currency1.Value = ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId, currency1.Value)
	
	currency1.Changed:connect(function()
		ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId, currency1.Value)
	end)
end)

You don’t need the “or player.leaderstats” in your 6th line, it can remain as

local folder = Instance.new("Folder")

edit: I forgot to give you an api reference sheet that you can use to compare your code, and learn off of.

As far as I can tell, this code works properly. The problem could potentially be that your updating leaderstat values from a LocalScript. If this is the issue, convert the code into a script, put the script into ServerScriptService and place your code in a game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function())

EDIT: Depending on the method of updating, it may be best to combine the script I suggested you make and the leaderstats into one script.

Make sure you mark a solution, as this thread might get bumped because there was no solution.

Can I have a refreshing of the script?

I updated very little, but here it is.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore("KicksValueSaver")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	folder.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local currency1 = Instance.new("IntValue")
	currency1.Name = "Kicks"
	currency1.Parent = folder
	currency1.Value = ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId, currency1.Value)
	
	currency1.Changed:connect(function()
		ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId, currency1.Value)
	end)
end)

The error is on line 13.

There are a few issues with your script.

  1. Never save data with the .Changed event, as it can throttle if the value changes too often.
    Only save every X seconds, when the player leaves and set up a BindToClose function.

  2. Wrap your calls in a pcall():
    This is used for error handling.
    It will execute the function, and if the function errors, it will handle it and give you the error, rather than erroring in your main thread and stopping.

  3. What is the purpose of this?

local folder = Instance.new("Folder") or player.leaderstats

It should look like this:

local folder = Instance.new("Folder")

And, NEVER use the parent argument that comes with Instance.new(), as this is slower.
Assign the properties first, then parent it.
